Wittenstein’s Corrosion Resistant and Hygienic Design products allow hygienic and sterile automation close to the process. Wittenstein’s hygienic gearboxes adapt to the requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries in terms of performance, hygiene, and connectivity. 

State-of-the-art planetary gearboxes, servo-drives and actuators are revolutionising the packaging sector from primary packaging, filling, and sealing through to end-of-line palletising. Packaging machines must comply with regulatory specifications, but they are also determined by the function of the final product to be packaged and the sector in which they are to be used. Where sterile packaging is paramount, such as the packaging of food, factors such as cleanliness and hygiene are an absolute must but meeting these stringent conditions shouldn’t mean that machine productivity must suffer. Wittenstein’s gearboxes stand out for their versatility and efficiency, they can run with continuously and are known for their extreme repeatability and precision. This makes Wittenstein’s hygienic design gearboxes perfect for this type of application.

Similarly with the pharmaceutical industry, product safety, condition control and batch traceability play an increasingly important role. Along with traditional criteria such as performance and availability, Wittenstein offers a wide range of drive solutions for the packaging and bottling of pharmaceutical products, both liquid and solid, in primary, secondary, or end-of-line packaging. In addition to our hygienic planetary gearboxes, Wittenstein’s cyber dynamic servo motors are combined with compact cyber simco servo drives to improve production cycles in hygienic environments, offer high reliability and are small allowing down-sizing with corresponding cost savings. Servo motors also make it possible to comply with EHEDG regulations and meet even the highest hygiene requirements. Wittenstein servo motors and servo drives have demonstrated not only their great performance in terms of precision, reliability and efficiency, but above all their great adaptability to any industrial application.
